This means SageTV will not be able to record additional TV to the pool, which is actually a good thing, considering the goal here is to stop everything from utilizing the drive pool entirely. I would recommend planning to do only one or two drives per day–in order to minimize downtime–and expect nothing to be able to access the drive pool during removal. The rest of the data, such as music, photos, and other documents take up but a fraction of the space, so the bulk of the work will be getting all my SageTV recordings and ripped videos out of DE and into individual folders/drives.ĭue to how DE works, the removal of a drive from WHS v1 (from this point forward, I’ll simply refer to it as WHS) can take a very long time, depending on the amount of data being removed, as well as the drive’s speed. To prepare for the move away from the WHS Drive Extender (DE) technology, since it was so unceremoniously ripped out of WHS 2011, the very first step I needed to take was to discontinue the use of DE for, at least, SageTV.
This process will also work if you intend to move to any alternative “drive pool” solutions, such as FlexRAID, unRAID, FreeNAS, or the couple of 3rd party add-ins for WHS 2011.
#REPLACING DRIVE WINDOWS 2011 HOME SERVER HOW TO#
While I don’t plan to use Windows Home Server 2011 for anything but backups, this guide should assist others who are thinking about how to upgrade WHS to WHS 2011, particularly migrating all your data out of the drive pool. As previously noted, I’m working on upgrading the server in my house, which currently runs Windows Home Server (v1).
